How many "blocks" do you need to show in the second table _at_one_time_?
If this is a lot, maybe because you need to print it in one section,
then just generate the tables easily with PHP or whatever and output
them as a very long piece of HTML. Make sure it's well-formed and valid
HTML, where each <table> itself is quite short. If you do that, it'll
still be "reasonably" quick to download and render, even for a large
amount of data. If a <table> stretches over the whole of a very long
page, then it can be slow to load.
If you only ever ned to show one "block" at a time, then investigate
AJAX.
